PTI Color Challenge

Hi! I feel like a chicken without a head. All these challenges at PTI--so fun but at times overwhelming since there are things like chores and picking up kids and cooking dinner. At least my hubby was nice enough to do all the dishes tonight himself so I could finish up my card. And boy did it take me a while. Usually I veer towards the pinks and reds but then I ended up selecting Dawn McVey's colors.

So those were the colors I had to work with. And I actually had all those colors but I've never used them in that combination before. And I don't use too much dark chocolate.

I made a little birthday card using Tiny Treats Birthday. I was really afraid to leave so much dark chocolate on the card! Lots of die cutting for this card--edgers die, rick rack die, limitless layers die, and the labels die.

Here's the birdie!

Now on to the buttons challenge!! Thanks for reading!

Your card is so cute! Love how you have used the colors on it. This has been a fun anniversary. But meeting the challenges can be difficult. Maybe if I'd play the Lotto, I could win big bucks to spend at PTI!

I know what you mean! I'm not even participating in the challenges and I'm already off schedule, I didn't even have time this morning to look at your project. Love your borders and die cuts! All the polka dots are so cute! OK, I better go to sleep now.

TGF 3rd Annual Customer Blog Hop

Hi! After finishing up these 2 projects for TGF's Blog Hop , I've come to realize that I am kind of addicted to stamps, especially TGF stamps. Hehe. Okay, I will not babble on too much since there are lots of other blogs to check out as well. I made something for both categories, Holiday and General. First up is my Holiday card. I recently acquired Hippie Anya! She inspired me to make a "peace" card for the holidays. But then I had to add Fleur Anya for "love" ... and 80s Anya for "joy." So great that these stamps could be turned into something Christmas-y. My General project has been swimming in my mind ever since I made that counting book a while back with TGF stamps as well. I thought I could make an ABC book too. But I didn't make this into a book. More like flashcards, I suppose. My youngest has a hard time recognizing lower case letters so I thought this would be fun for him. All stamps are TGF. I ...

I glued that tag onto kraft cardstock and used my ruler to cut a 1/8th inch border aro...

upcycling Pokemon wrappers

Hello everyone! I am back with my latest sewing creations. I have been playing around with plastic wrappers! I've seen those upcycled plastic wrap bags and purses (usually made from Capri Sun package juice) but never really paid attention to them or how they were made until I saw this tutorial using the wrappers from Pokemon cards. My boys love Pokemon cards and were just throwing the wrappers away but I started saving them and collected enough from their recent birthdays to make a couple of items. Here is a little coin pouch (didn't want to call it a purse since it's for my youngest boy and he'd probably not like that). This little pouch was made with 4 wrappers, 2 in front and 2 in back. It is a bit tough to turn right side out because the wrappers and contact paper get stiff. But it's possible and looks really neat! I made it so he could hang it from the inside of his backpack and also carry around a little bit of emergency...
